Nice overall introduction to statistics, but suffers from bad grading mecanism when perofrming peer graded assignments.

Assignments are too simple and are not in the proper readable format. Videos lack animation and are mostly wordy.

the course is good but the first two week are boring and there I have lose my interest in this course

Not as much hands on as I hoped

Easy to teach Probability

I achieve new knowledge.

The lectures and lecture notes are pretty good, but they lack pretty much any derivations. The weekly homework is trivial - just look through your notes and find the correct definition which was asked for, it's multiple choice. You don't have to do any calculations. That last sentence is literally correct. There are two peer graded assignments where you have to do some simple calculations, but they are very simple. I can't overemphasize how simple they are.

If you haven't take a real class in stats then you will see a lot of cool things and learn next to nothing. If you have taken a class in stats then this is an easy trip down memory lane.

In order to learn math you have to do math. There are no good homework problems.

This is my third Coursera course and the first which I did not enjoy. Many issues with being able to read the formulae in the quizzes and assignments. These were displayed bizarely and not the same as the video lectures nor the course notes. This is difficult information for many people to understand so consistency is key. In addition, I have not seen one response from a moderator (other courses had moderators responding to questions). In any type of math, stats courses it is imperative to have moderators helping students to ensure misinformation is not learned from student to student learning.

The selection of topics covered is great, the lectures pretty good and the difficulty level reasonable, but the execution is incredibly shoddy/sloppy. Typo-filled lecture transcripts, unreadable quiz questions (because mathematical symbols didn't render properly), and unclear assignment instructions. One gets the impression that they put the course up online a while back and then pretty much forgot about it

In week 3, the quiz is improperly formatted. A bunch of us students have commented on this in the discussion boards with no resolution.

Very formalistic with not much explanations about the formulas. It get too complicated very fast.

much lower level than expected. nice course for people who've not done alevel stats.

unspecific and uninteresting

worth nothing
